John, thanks for your reply. My point was, that perfect measurements don't sound good to many of us. We are both saying the same thing: you are saying that measurements don;t tell the story, and I am saying the same thing, i.e. measuremrnts don't predict how it will sound!

All measurement do is predict fidelity to the original signal, not how good it will sound to you or me. I think we are in agreement!
